    What language is CATGEO written in. I'm actually not a CATIA programmer although I dabble in VB and php but CATIA is done using FORTRAN isn't it? Do you have any example code?

    Batch transformation in V4.2.2

    Is it possible to apply a stored "move" translation to a bunch of V4 models in batch mode. Our customer would like us to transform a whole series of models to a different coordinate system and doing it manually is not an option. Any ideas?
